1940.2 - Witt & PP Axis vs Colt & FMErwinRommel Allies (+25)

[FMErwinRommel]

If Italy takes dd as hit, then subs can no longer participate as they can’t hit the ftr, so they should be able to submerge and the TB retreat.  I tried to replicate the battle, but the Brits scored hits every time.  See no reason for Italy to take ftr as hit and leave DD with lower defense and that can still be hit by subs.

[Witt]

I meant I would have had three. I keep Italy fighting for its convoy, if it stilln has 8 to spend.

The rule is all retreat or none retreat. The subs cannot submerge. You need to stay and lose the Tac or win with it, then they are still in the SZ.

[FMErwinRommel]

Colt and Adam need to decide whether to redo the battle or whatever.

[Colt45554]

I said i wont retreat. He can keep doing the rolls if hes available

[Private-Panic]

@wittmann:

I would havr  scrambled. And I would have had three Fts. I am the one insisting on the DD purchase every round.

Oh Leo!

[Private-Panic]

Sorry! Quite right about your taking the sub instead. I would take my dd. So we have left 2 subs and a TB vs my fig. Subs no longer participate.

Sorry Colt. That is the TB gone too. You were very unlucky.

I will look at Italy tomorrow and make the necessary edits.

[Private-Panic]

Leo - let me know anything you would like to insist I do! :roll:

I will then do my own thing as always. :-P

[Private-Panic]

@Private:

Sorry Colt. That is the TB gone too. You were very unlucky.

I will look at Italy tomorrow and make the necessary edits.

If anyone thinks of a fairer way to have done this then let us know.

[Private-Panic]

@Colt45:

Cannot think of a fairer way to do it but the tone if Colt’s post suggests he is no happy?

[Private-Panic]

@Private:

Sorry! Quite right about your taking the sub instead. I would take my dd. So we have left 2 subs and a TB vs my fig. Subs no longer participate.

Sorry Colt but you actually have onlyb1csub left I think.

I am not going to do Italy until we have a consensus on whether this has all been done fairly.

[Colt45554]

It’s OK with me. Proceed

Sorry, but U.S. must consult with Churchill, so turn must wait until tomorrow.  Hadn’t realized til now that S. Italy is such a versatile place to park bombers.  Centralized location with an airbase.  They can reach from England to Cau.  8 bombers is like an 800 pound gorilla, even tho no ground troops.

[Private-Panic]

Happy to have demonstrated that one! :-D
